Undergraduate / "not a city girl" - BU supplement applying for Fall 2012 - Early decision [NEW]
I am not a city girl. I have grown up close to "the city that never sleeps" and I have never enjoyed that idea. This motto was created because there is so much action taking place in New York City. On the other hand, Boston offers a more peaceful niche but is also fast paced. Boston, a city well known for its prestigious universities such as Boston University (BU), a surfeit of historical landmarks and diverse cultures, is a place where I can connect to and be more comfortable in than another city. I remember a time when I visited BU for my brother and all I remember is the beautiful, bright green grass and tall buildings. During my junior year, as I searched for the best college for me, I was drawn to the words "elementary education, special education" in my college book under Boston University, as I found with some other schools, but BU seemed different...impossible. I was uncertain whether BU would be the right fit for me; however, I looked into it and when I visited, I found many interests that resemble my perfect fit. There was talk about the extraordinary opportunities offered at BU's study abroad program. There is no other university that offers over seventy international programs. Then, after we visited, I did some more research and discovered so many more cool facts. One activity that I want to continue throughout college is fencing and the fencing coach is deaf. Boston University surrounds students with so much culture and diversity that I can socially interact and intellectually grow as a person there.
Please revise it and write comments to on what I have to improve. Thanks so much.
